I take ur point, but no one except someone has been living in a Tardis for the last 40 years is selling Epitome of Sound cheap. As a very shrewd n experienced n very well known dealer pointed out to me years ago....."if you have 1 copy of a record for sale and you hve 40 enquiries, U got the price wrong n r sellin it too cheap! If you hve 1 copy n 1 enquiry n it sells to that enquirer... Then U got the price exactly right!! Anything is 'worth' wat U can get for it basically.

Ok, don't wanna belittle anyone here or state the obvious but this argument about record prices has been raging since time immemorial, yet there are some inescapable realities here regarding record prices which are less to do with the whole Northern collecting thing and more to do with simple market economics!!! It's called Supply and Demand! The fact that high prices are asked and sales achieved at those prices tells you one huge thing.... That the supply is NOT thre and that the demand is, and that, whether you like it or not the market can stand (and supports) those prices! Also, unless you're a strange breed of collector who is going to put your money where your mouth is, and sell your records in these current market economy conditions, for 1970's prices, which I doubt, then Yre actually part of the same syndrome; aren't we all... If we sell we all want the best prices we can get and let's be clear there is absolutely NO ONE regardless of their views on this, who is selling their records for anything other than close to current market prices!!! The plain truth is, for an anthem like Epitome of Sound, regardless of how many were made, clearly there weren't enough made to satisfy the demand still...40 years on from when it was first played! That tells U everything u need to know about record supply, customer demand, and record prices. Oh and one more thing..... Remember.... Unlike widgets, new cars, houses, Apple iPhones, and other commodities..... they don't make em anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ian ok well not sure wat happened then coz that's the email add I sent to. anyway ok, mine is a red UK Atlantic copy, mint minus vinyl. Label is fine but has a couple of marks where a small circular sticker has been, otherwise great nick. I'm asking for £75. I don't think he'll get one for £40..... Tell him to check out prices it's gone for on Popsike.... He's way out.

Hi mate, did u get the email I sent yesterday re Baby Cakes?

I agree; don't rate it. It's nowhere near the best on the label. Cautions. Eddie Daye, Cairos, Enjoyables all destroy it on northern criteria. I wonder if you'd see the above comments if it was £5 not £5000! Methinks not!

Rare in demand LP. Pretty much flawless mint minus vinyl. Cover superb except 1 n half inch split in middle of top edge of cover. Readvertised due to timewaster! For sale: £1800. Or close to.....Last one went for over £2100 n in much poorer condition.

Offers invited for this Super Rare LP. Vinyl is pristine; if I was being critical I'd say Mint minus! Cover is excellent condition, other than a small 1 n half inch split along the top middle of the cover. Other than that it's pretty damn good.

Just a couple of small points: 1. They don't make em anymore! 2. In the history of our scene none of these brilliant 'anthem' records have ever gone down in price over time. The later in the scenes evolution that u buy em... The more they gonna cost U! 3. Simple economics..... Supply and demand affect price.... Like it or not that's the score.... With any commodity. If demand increases and supply isn't there, the price will inflate regardless of book price or how we feel about it. Accept it.
